What are SSL certificates and Https?
If you have an SSL certificate installed on your website, you create a secure encrypted connection between the visitor's browser and the web server. This means that it becomes much more difficult for hackers to steal data that goes between the browser and the server, which can be personal data, email addresses and logins.
